New Alfa Romeo Giulia 510 hp tt V6

I have always owned an Alfa, and still do. They were very sucessful in the prewar WW2 years with many GP championships. After the war the company was absorbed by the Italian government, and forced to make cars for the masses. In the 50's they were very sucessfull with the 159 1.5 liter supercharged, twin cam straight 8, producing 435 hp at 9300 rpm. While they made some great cars that competed in many forms of racing, their last major succeses were the world championship in 75 and also 1977. The last real dominance they had was in the DTM in the 90's with the insane NA 2.5 liter V6 producing 480 hp at 11500 rpm. Now owned by Fiat, the management has greenlit a skunkworks team to put them back on the map after years of mismanagement. Aligned closer to Maserati, and Ferrari, here is the new 3 liter twin turbo V6 rear wheel drive Alfa Giulia.
